I recently purchased a watch with an altimeter on it. And I just got back
from a trip (cave diving!) where I noticed that airplanes tend to keep
the cabin pressure around the 4000-5000 feet of altitude range. So, other
than the possibility that they may go outside this range, is there any
reason you can't dive the day before flying as long as you adjust for the
altitude? Not that I plan to try it. I'm just wondering if I'm missing
anything.
